Are You Ready for Spring?

We’re all looking forward to the beginning of the spring semester on Monday, February 8. It’s important that you prepare for your classes by reviewing the modality and syllabus of each class for which you are registered.

Class Modality

Spring courses will be delivered in multiple ways. Some will be entirely remote, some will be entirely in-person, and some will be a mixture of online and on-campus delivery. Different sections of the same course may be delivered differently. Please look carefully at your spring schedule in NEST to understand the modality for each of your scheduled classes. Be sure to go beyond the first page of your schedule to investigate the modality of each course. If your course requires attendance on campus, please be prepared to do so. You can learn about the different ways that courses are delivered by visiting the course modalities web page on the Red Hawk Central website.

Class Syllabus

It is important that you review the syllabus for each of your spring classes, which your professor will be uploading over the coming weeks. Log into your Canvas account to find the syllabus for your class. The syllabus should detail whether the class is synchronous online with Zoom, some version of HawkLIVE or HawkMIX with dates of required campus appearances — or whatever your specific instructional mode will be. Your faculty members’ expectations for camera usage during remote learning sessions also should be included.

It is important to understand that the class modality can not be altered. If you are in a course that is taught in a modality that includes expectations you cannot meet, you may choose a different course via NEST.

Please Note: Monday, February 15 is the last day you can add a full semester class to your spring schedule. View the Important Dates web page.
